White Flag

Despite the assuringly positive comments I receive about my ability to tolerate high amounts of pain, I am not feeling it right now. For weeks now we have been chasing my discomfort with all the things that are supposed to help, and I still find myself awake, alone through the dead hours of the lonely nights, rocking and squirming in desperation as I seek even a short reprieve. This disease has large muscle groups locked involuntarily into forcible contractions that refuse to relax and allow me to enjoy the comfort of even a few hours free from pain. I keep telling Mark if pain alone could kill me, I would be dead. Please stand with me, plead with me, knock on the door of Heaven for a reprieve for my sake. I can tough it out through a lot of things, but I am reaching my limit.

  4. Prayers for you Hannah. I’m sitting by my moms side while she is on hospice and we (her and me) pray frequently throughout the day. I’m adding you to our list. Hang tough. I know God has a purpose and it’s not ever guaranteed that we’ll see it this side of heaven but trust me your writing has touched so many lives. So when you question the why, that alone has been good for so many people. I’m just hoping to encourage you today. Love you!
